And the Lord spake vnto Moses, in the plaines of Moab by Iordane, neere Iericho, saying,

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye are passed ouer Iordane into the land of Canaan;

Then ye shall driue out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite plucke downe all their high places.

And ye shall dispossesse the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I haue giuen you the land to possesse it.

And ye shall diuide the land by lot, for an inheritance among your families, and to the moe ye shall giue the more inheritance, and to the fewer yee shall giue the lesse inheritance: euery mans inheritance shall bee in the place where his lot falleth, according to the tribes of your fathers, ye shall inherite.

But if ye will not driue out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come to passe that those which ye let remaine of them, shall be prickes in your eyes, and thornes in your sides, and shal vexe you in the land wherein ye dwell.

Moreouer, it shall come to passe, that I shall do vnto you, as I thought to doe vnto them.
